I got the “joke” it just isn’t funny.

This joke isn’t even funny tbh. He has a few good one liners, why did you pick this one?

I understand the sentiment here, so this isn’t directed at you, but I’ve never understood the at least they didn’t physically suffer idea. Sudden fear and confusion right before death is awful.

Sharing culture is one of the most beautiful things humanity has to offer each other.

1000% agree on the last sentence. I’ve used that as a metric for years.

Yeah we know that but does the average American whose only use of the word Persian comes from rugs, coffee, and mahbe some sweets.

Not trying to be snarky, but do you understand the concept of equity?

Yeah what point is that?

Lol the guy says one thing I agree with and I’m supposed to throw out everything else I know about him. Get real.

Lol who is downvoting this is one of the steps that must be taken.

They could be smart about it. No taxation on inheritance under 2 million (I’m pulling these #s from the sky). Anything over gets taxed progressively; if if these billionaires won’t pay up during life we can grab it on the way out.

Why you following him? Just wondering.

Yeah that makes sense. So, we kind of need people like Sophia to make statements like this for ya’ll who “can’t” due to risks involved?

Rather than disparaging her sentiment we should be thanking her, and those like her for taking a stand when we are unable to.

She was a 21yo student, obviously she isnt speaking from the experience of a mid 30~ with a family. Putting that aside, are you saying that a person with a family, by necessity, needs to restructure values to include survival by any means? By making waves you would introduce potential harm to the family?

No doubt the folks she is referring to do this, but shit… thats putting way to much power into those that expect you to not make waves which would only embolden someone to take advantage of that with threats of intimidation.

Lol yeah exactly… Its such a brain dead take.

Its so liberating to just accept this mindset everyhwhere. I personally feel so comfortable voting with my wallet I don’t even feel a sense of missing out anymore.

Yeah watch me not deny it tho; I intended for it to be snarky and anticipated this impact.

I’ll counter your anectdote with my own. Every single Linux community member I have encountered on my journey to use this as a daily driver (arch BTW) has been incredibly helpful.

Intention vs. Impact, look it up.

I downvoted because of the snark in first paragraph.
